Energy & Environment


Re-energise your Systems, Plant and Planet - all the tools and know-how are available to enable manufacturers to confidently implement an energy strategy to meet the key issue of keeping costs down whilst being socially responsible for the planet and the future.

 

It has been estimated that c.17% of annual greenhouse gas emissions are attributed to industrial processes and reports have shown that c.66% of all energy consumed by industry is used to drive electric motors.

Energy taxes/penalties are likely to be the Governments preferred method of enforcing compliance by business to reduce emissions, which when coupled with an over-reliance on imported energy sources and depletion of local natural resource can mean only one thing – increases in costs.

Energy savings directly affect the bottom line so to remain competitive manufacturers must ensure that they have a sustainable continuous improvement program to control three of their most significant cost areas (see table below).

EmsPT has a framework for success. Energy measurements alongside process, operational and quality information set against energy targets [KPIs] will enable the true real-time manufacturing management required to control, improve and re-energise your systems.

Contact EmsPT to discuss developing an Energy framework for you.


Energy & Environment

 

Major Cost Area

Energy Improvement Gap

Benefit

Action

Production Costs

At best production scheduling addresses customer delivery and production efficiency dimensions but does not consider energy

Energy dimension in the schedule will utilise plant assets in the most efficient manner

Automate scheduling system to include real- time energy data

Utilities

Measurement of energy usage plant wide

KPIs enable real-time manufacturing management to drive performance and protect the bottom line

Implement SCADA and remote data acquisition devices

Maintenance

Worn down equipment uses more energy due to inefficient operation

Improved availability, performance of assets and throughput

Implement a predictive maintenance system
